Could your tea towel make you sick?
Did you know simple household items such as tea towels can make you sick? You and others are at risk of developing unpleasant illnesses such as food poisoning, diarrhoea, stomach pain, and even meningitis if you use the same tea towel over and over again. Tea towels that are used repeatedly without being cleaned can harbour some nasty bacteria such as E.coli. The bacteria that causes meningitis, staphylococcus Aureus, can also be found on tea towels.
